    Abstract:

    AIM:To compare the effects of excision of pterygium with gliding the corneal limbal stem cells beside pterygium-neck(A operation) and classical pterygium excision combined with corneal limbal stem cells trans-plantation(B operation) on different eyes of homobody. ·METHODS:There were 105 patients 210 eyes with initial pterygium in two eyes,one eye got A operation and the other got B operation. The postoperative follow-up period was 12 months. The duration of complaint symptoms,the time of corneal epithelium healing and recurrence of pterygium were observed after operation. ·RESULTS:Eight eyes of 105 eyes that got A operation were recurred,the rate of recurred was 7.8%. 6 eyes of 105 eyes that got B operation were recurred,the rate of recurred was 5.9%. The difference was not significantly different(P>0.05). 87.6% patients complained that the eyes got B operation were more uncomfortable.The duration of complaint symptoms after operation was significantly different between two operation(P<0.01). The time of corneal epithelium healing was also signifi-cantly different(P<0.05). ·CONCLUSION:The excision of pterygium with gliding the corneal limbal stem cells beside pterygium-neck is a convenient,micro-injury and light compliant symptoms surgery. The rate of recurred is not significantly different between this operation and classical pterygium excision combined with corneal limbal stem cells transplantation.
